MOLESKIN:
Lord thank you for this day, thank you for these men. YHC was honored to get to lead the workout again this morning, and was grateful that so many PAX posted. Though YHC was still alone at 5:29, these 9 other men had joined by 2 minutes later. Timing was comedic.

The warm-up included a watermelon-picker tribute to Aaarrrggghhh. PAX heard an audible “yesss” when it was announced.

On the first attempted exercise YHC tried an “exercise song” a la Pepper (Chumbawamba) and/or Icebox (‘I Don’t Get Tired’). Unfortunately, PAX could not hear the music so it was abandoned.

It was darn cold and windy this morning, props to F150, Oatmeal, Pow, Rump, and Shifty for the outdoor exposure. AlrightAlright, Draper, Sex Panther, and YHC were the #GarageCrew.

EASTER routine felt pretty challenging. YHC doesn’t remember coupons nearly ever feeling as heavy as during Elf on a Shelf. T-merkins on the block also left a mark, both mentally and physically. Lots of mumblechatter about it, but YHC believes still 0 curses from Rump Roast. Perhaps Shifty influences Rump to #Advantage.

YHC believes the best mumblechatter joke today was the hiney.

Virtual Qs take some getting used to with the lag time, but as one PAX put it, they also help the Q to be “concise and precise.” Something we all can probably get better at.

Again, thank you to the PAX. Let’s keep up the great attendance. Prayed for guidance to be #ServantLeaders wherever we can be today. Our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and broader communities all need us and would benefit from our leadership.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. If you have extra medical supplies or know where to find some, please let Draper or PowPow know.
2. Happy Hour Saturday – only 4 days away!!

Fitness Test Circuit – 4/6/2020

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Oatmeal, Rump Roast, Alright Alright, Sally, Draper, Shifty McCoy, F150
QIC: PowPow

AO: Virtual via the UBJN (Garages, backyards etc)
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Umm…..

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15, ISTx15

THA THANG:
Fitness Test Circuit – All exercises OYO

  • Burpees x 20
  • Calf Raises x 30
  • Ski Abs x 20 (each time across is a rep)
  • Merkins x 20
  • Squats x 20
  • LBCs x 40
  • Carolina Dry Dock x 20
  • American Hammer x 20 (count = 1,1,2,2)
  • Nipplers x 20
  • Jump Squats x 20
  • Mountain Climbers x 20 (count = 1,1,2,2)

After completing the above circuit, PAX partnered up to tackle the circuit Dora-style.  The partner doing the “running” completes 10 single count side-straddle hops, then partners flapjack. The Dora circuit was:

Burpees > Calf Raises > Ski Abs > Merkins > Squats & LBCs. Same rep count as above.

Then switch back to OYO  Circuit where Dora Circuit left off:

Carolina Dry Dock > American Hammer > Nipplers > Burpees > Calf Raises > Ski Abs > Merkins > Squats > LBCs > Carolina Dry Dock > American Hammer > Nipplers. Same rep count, Nipplers cut short for time.

MARY:
Done throughout workout

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC shared what it has meant to him to be part of F3 DFW for the past year. Thank you to the PAX for everything they do to support each other and the community, accelerate F3 DFW and give it away. Thank you to Oatmeal for the EH.

MOLESKIN:
It was YHC’s one-year anniversary with F3 and VVQ (Virgin Virtual Q). Since YHC’s first post was the Q2 2019 Fitness Test, we paid homage with a fitness test circuit. Not sure why I decided to only go to Mountain Climbers when planning the workout.

Shifty took an extended bathroom break during the workout, leaving Rump Roast to do most of the Dora workout without a partner. Dora is tough over video call, it would have worked better if the partner doing the exercise just has to complete a pre-determined number of reps while the “running” partner performs AMRAP of an exercise that lets them keep eyes on the screen (SSH, IST, OH Claps). That way the exercising partner can complete the assigned reps and just start doing SSH and the other partner will see this and know when to switch.  No verbal communication needed.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Alright Alright is Q’ing a workout for Fort Worth on Wednesday. Draper has the regular Q that day and will likely converge with Fort Worth.
2. Don’t forget Special Sauce’s daily challenge from Saturday – reach out to someone! Do it today and then reach out to someone else tomorrow!

MARY:
Intra-workout

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Prayed for strength and perspective, as our Concentrica and the world need us to be strong examples of servant leadership.

MOLESKIN:
Thanks to the PAX for posting this morning, it is an honor and a humbling opportunity to lead.

The workout – YHC was worried about getting in cardio, but the humidity had us all huffing and sweating pretty quickly. MLBs seemed to be a good mix of upper body, lower body, and core. Added up to 86 reps of each exercise – #GetSmart theme as AlrightAlright noted.

Mumblechatter – highlights included Pow “Vader” Pow, Alright “Disappearing” Alright, and Rump and Shifty running for cover as a quick Texas rainstorm blew in. Icebox was left lonely as wingman Maverick was nowhere to be found, though today would have been a great day for him to run underneath planks and Chamberlains. YHC saw a neighbor’s light go on after 10 minutes.. may have been the noise (sorry!). He closed the garage door promptly.

Finally, we were all impressed with BlueJeans’ newest “smell” feature. Even could almost make out a hint of Teasip’s sweatshirt.

Keep up the good work, gentlemen. Be servant leaders today!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. QSource today at 1130 on the UBJN (Ultra Blue Jeans Network) – https://bluejeans.com/u/bsomerford/.
2. Happy Hour tomorrow night, 8pm on the DZM (Draper Zoom Network). Stay tuned to Band for link.

MARY:
None

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Discussed keeping in contact with each other daily during this time

MOLESKIN:
Not much chatter as we were going at our own pace through the ladder.  YHC was impressed to see 12 PAX join even in the lightening and rain.  Hopefully, it was a challenging workout and we were spaced out enough to stay safe.  

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Stay healthy
2.

Cole-“VID 19” Park

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, Coach K, Draper, Generic (FNG – welcome!), Plus One

AO: Cole Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given, with added COVID 19 disclaimer

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x15, IST x12, Daisy Pickers x10, warm up lap

THA THANG:
Paint the lines, followed by bear crawl paint the lines. Followed that up with more tennis court work of 10 monkey humpers, lunge walk between two courts, 10 jump squats, lunge walk to the end, 10 squats. 

Next was Del Brown (10 merkins, crab walk between the two courts, 10 diamond merkins, crab walk to end, 10 wide grip merkins).

Mosey to the benches for Dirty McDeuce: 12 Step Ups, 12 Dips, 12 Jump Squats, 12 Irkins, with a lap around the pavilion in between. Finish up with Mary and mosey back to the tennis court

MARY:
Penguin crunch x12, Uptown Crunch x10, Rugby sit ups x 13

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We stayed spread out and YHC prayed for protection and us to do our part with COVID 19. Named Generic

MOLESKIN:
5 PAX (1 FNG) braved the wet, and cold, as well as COVID 19 fears, to join YHC this gloom. Alright Alright was quick to question YHC’s clothing choice of the EY sweater (sans smell) and leggings. YHC gets cold rather easily and was prepared for the mid 50 temps. YHC did ditch the sweater at some point and probably would’ve been fine without the leggings as well. 

Not much other mumble chatter, though Plus One did appreciate doing his signature Del Brown exercises while he was in attendance. Several instances of “the what?!” after each time YHC mentioned to go/mosey/find a bench. Not sure if that joke will every die.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Vote for the F3 Golf Outing (assuming COVID 19 doesn’t wipe out the world)
2. Practice safe techniques to ward off and prevent the spread of COVID 19

MOLESKIN:
Sorry for the late backblast bruddas. Work has been a little, uh, volatile.

This was YHC’s first Q of the New Year. Happy to be back at it.

Having been focused on #Strength lately, YHC wanted to use the great opportunity of a Tuesday coup day to really set the PAX up for some strength gains.

YHC was reminded that this glorious day was to be Fat Tuesday, and as such pondered an appropriate Mardi Gras theme. After writing off KING CAKE and FAT T’s, YHC decided it would suffice to use ‘GRAS’.   Oh yah.

And out came the painful DORA you see above. YHC swears he tries to think about exercise counting when constructing his Q’s, but this would evidence otherwise. The Groiners, Rosalita Presses, and Apollo Oh-no’s were good exercises. All hit different and rarely-used parts of the body, too. The step-ups, however, quickly brought the realization that 150 reps of a 4-count exercise was going to suck.

And suck it did.

But all PAX pushed through. Took some serious mental and physical (aren’t they the same?) toughness, but probably added 1/2 inch to each of our thighs. #WorthIt, YHC envisions the PAX would say.

As always, thank you to the men who posted. It’s a privilege and opportunity to lead.

Apologizes, YHC doesn’t remember much mumblechatter. YHC did get some crap (he remembers one in particular – ‘What, so the goal was to get the PAX so sore nobody comes out the rest of the week?!’).

Stay healthy out there fellas. Practice that sweet Millennial “self-care” – eat well, wash your hands, get enough rest, and focus on the things that matter.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. TID18K was a success. #TClaps to the PAX for either participating or thinking about us while we participated 🙂
2. QSource: Topic this week is the “M” – Friday lunch, likely Preston Center, 11:30
3. Happy Hour – Friday evening ~5pm, likely Ozona

Four Man Weave

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Aaarrrggghhh, Alright Alright, Bleep, Coach K, Draper, Oatmeal, PowPow, Sex Panther, Slushii, Special Sauce, Tatanka (FNG – welcome!), Ultra
QIC: Teasip

AO: Glecone Park #glencofasho
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20, IST x15, Windmill x10

THA THANG:
5x4x5 (5 reps of 4 exercises, for 5 rounds). Pull ups, dips, swerkins & OH Press with coupon

Mosey over to the football field for the 4 man weave (copyright pending)

Groups of 4 (had one group of 5). PAX 1 started at the near side of the field doing Man Makers. PAX 2 started at the far side of the field doing curls with a coupon. PAX 3 started bear crawling from one side of the football field to the other. PAX 4 started at the near side of the football field, ran to PAX 2 and back, then relieved PAX 3 of the bear crawling, who ran and relieved PAX 2 of the curls, who then ran and relieved PAX 1 of the Man Makers, who started running. Continue that cycle for a couple more rounds with the below exercises:

Man Makers, Curls, Bear Crawl, Run

Squats, Lunges, Crab Walk, Run

Penguin Crunch, Elf on a Shelf, Crawl Bear, Run

Once everyone was done, had just enough time to mosey back to the start for 12 Burpees OYO, followed by Mary

MARY:
Uptown Crunch x10, LBC x20

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
YHC pulled in at 0525 after having enjoyed an extra 15 min of sleep and a shorter commute with the move back to civilization (read south of 635). YHC was greeted by what sounded like a reason for why Alright Alright missed Monday’s beatdown. Apparently, we may need a second F event where Plus One is our bartender as his margs led to the missed workout.

Some criticism from the PAX during the warm up as YHC mistakenly said that ISTs are standing curls as opposed to standing sit ups (YHC has curls on the mind for his girl/future M), then YHC was again laughed at for the apparent twang when saying “Windmill” (YHC has always had a different way of saying i’s, like in pillow). Regardless, the warmup was done and we transitioned to the 5x4x5.

The naming convention for this popular workout was discussion topic during it, as several PAX were unsure of how many sets to do. YHC has always thought it was reps x # of exercises x rounds, but YHC is flexible. The confusion was only a preview of what was to come.

YHC led the PAX to the football field for the 4 man weave, which after an explanation and demonstration, led to some expected confusion on who was to relieve whom (who? YHC can never get these right). After a few minutes, it appeared as though the PAX finally got the rotation down. Alright Alright’s group must have taken after him the night prior as there was some difficulty with crawling/crab walking in a straight line.

Once done, YHC felt like there was too much mumblechatter going on and decided to initiate burpee silence with 12 burpees which quickly quieted the PAX. 

Just enough time for some Mary before we named Tatanka (it was either that or something related to bears I think?) and the discussion over spelling started. Ultra and YHC liked the Lafawnduh style spelling “Ta-tawn-kuh”, but Pow Pow found the proper spelling. Overall a good time in the gloom and the 4 man weave will definitely be making another appearance. I may make it a goal to keep increasing the weave by 1 with ultimate goal of a full PAX weave.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Big D TID Beatdown (fka Texas Independence Day 18k) is this Saturday at 0700, kicking off from Riverchon Park
2. Q Source this Friday at 11:30 in Preston Center. This week is on the Jester.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC thanked the PAX for joining him on his 41st birthday and expressed his gratitude for the positive influence and acceleration F3 is bringing to his life. Spoke about the mini-tribute to Kobe Bryant – K(nerkins) and B(B Situp) for KB and 8 and 24 reps for Kobe’s jersey numbers. KB’s fearless and relentless pursuit of excellence is an inspiration for YHC.

MOLESKIN:
Coach K and Special Sauce have the misfortune of living west of 75 and had to deal with traffic caused by a bad traffic accident. Thanks for sticking through the traffic and posting anyway gents! Better late than never.

At YHC’s house, his M and dog were out front to greet the PAX mid-workout with a message written in  chalk on the sidewalk. The PAX then impressed with great form on burpees in the street. Oatmeal circumsacked, but YHC tried texting him mid-workout to come outside of his house to meet the PAX for some burpees.  Unfortunately his phone was off, so we did the burpees in his front yard without him.

Knerkins in the middle of the street was not popular with the PAX working out sans-gloves. Sorry guys, think of it as enhancing your Toughness (Mental)…or would it be Toughness (Physical)? I’m not sure.

Tietze is a good AO except for the fact that it is sort of buried in the middle of the neighborhood, making it a bit inconvenient for those coming from Lake Highlands or west of 75. AlrightAlright counted 15 stop lights coming from his house, apparently.

Mumblechatter:

The warm-o-rama had a lot of chatter that YHC self consciously took personally. So I decided to dole out some OYO Burpees to quiet the noise. Then we were off to the Quad and although our little clusters chatted it was much quieter. Once we got to the spot the chatter started again, especially, the fact YHC needed Oatmeal to explain the Wheel of Pain since even I had forgotten how awful it was. I heard about it that I didn’t have a speaker…. It was a rough crowd this morning! I believe Coach K would have been proud had he been present today. He was there in spirit.

I have to admit, I neglected to write everyone’s name down right after so I hope I didn’t leave anyone out. I also hope I got the FNG’s new names accurate. IT had been a while since I’ve lead a large group of men and it felt almost like a VQ. I hope I was able to mask that and pull off a solid beatdown. Until next week my friends!
